Here come lonely days It's like taps being cut off on Saturday night Here come lonely days I've been wishing that I wasn't such a parasite I dialed your number 20 times And I know that it ain't wrong Lately it occurs to me This time you're really gone I'm so lonely Here come lonely nights I've been sending out distress signals Morse code and the light Here come lonely nights This bed's become an ocean, and there is no land in sight Suddenly it dawns on me This time you're really gone
You know all my secrets You know all my crimes My degree of treason And my sick state of mind But your love is like a cannon Ripping through the dark Once I used to stagger Now I've learned to walk And I'm so lonely Jesus, Jesus It's my hour of pretense I pray it would be followed by heartfelt repentence My cranium's a battlezone Break on through the compound and take no prisoners Lately it occurs to me that You were never gone When I'm lonely
